Anyone have any pictures of them installed on their AD truck? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

I used a rubber grommet in the back of the tail light just about the same size of the smooth end of the conduit and pushed it into the gromet from the outside back end of the tail light. On the end that goes into the frame, I used a hard plastic grommet that has a hole in it so the conduit fits snugly through it but stops because of the flare on that end of of the conduit, then I pushed the grommet through a hole in the frame on the outside of the frame and it just snaps in. I found these grommets at the Ace Hardware Store near my place.

On the forward side of the lamp there was a bracket with a keyhole shaped slot to receive and retain the lamp end of the conduit. I believe Jim Carter and other suppliers sell a reproduction of this item. The problem with using it on your AD is that the lamp bolts are diagonal to one another, whereas the '35-'39 truck lamp had bolts in a straight vertical line. Check it out. If you can't find one, let me know and I will post a photo of mine.
